anyone tried to using Jebo WP40?

I am not too familiar with the Tunze pumps but here are the spec of 6105. They look so similar to those of WP40.

Cable length: 5 m (196.8 in.)
Dimensions: diam. 90 mm (3.5 in.), Output: diam. 50 mm/63mm (1.96 / 2.48 in.) Incl. additional WIDE FLOW propeller housing.
Magnet Holder up to a glass thickness of 15 mm (.6 in.)

This is one Tunze with wide nozzle on a 72" x 36" tank. Note the spread on the water surface. I normally run four Tunzes on this tank.

Does Tunze sell the wide nozzle as a spare part? Can't find it.
Yes, they sell the 6205 front housing. Tunze replacement part page from their main site. Also, AquariumSpecialty sells them too. They are about $33
From looking at the housings, it looks like they just clip on the front. No twist-lock or anything. I would think if the two pumps are the same size then they should work, should being the key word.

Of course it won't be identical. If its close enough size wise, epoxy could work wonders.

What did they do?

If I understand correctly from what I read from the Tunze site, the wide flow housing has an output dia of 63mm vs 50mm for the standard output housing. So I am not sure the modification by simply cuting the front housing closer to the prop produces the same effect as the wide flow housing with larger output diameter.

How about telling Jebao you need a replacement? We could see if they are going to be user friendly and if they are, you'd have a spare face to work on... I'm just say'n...

I bought the tunze wide flow housing to mess around with. We'll see how it goes.

It helps but is not the same effect. I went from the normal housing to the normal with a shortened output to a wide housing and the difference is night and day, from there I made my own with an even larger shroud. This is on a 6100, the 6105 is the "updated" version.

Made your own, nice? How'd you do it?
I couldn't find the regular stream cover but it is much smaller than the wide flow one. What I did was take a regular shroud and roto zip it to fit the O.D. of a 2" coupling. I cut the coupling in half, roto zipped out the stop in the middle and used pvc glue to attach to the shroud.
What I have learned...there is a limit to how wide you can go with the prop size and the vanes do help make the flow consistent around the diameter of the shroud. I did two of these, one with no cross piece and one with, the one with has more consistent flow and the one without has strong areas of flow and weak areas of flow. I will put some vanes on the one without and try to tune the flow. Overall it is very easy because the Tunze pieces glue beautifully with normal pvc glue.
If you can get a couple of shrouds from Jebo to play with you can probably make these less of hard stream and more of a nice wide and gentle flow. You should also be able to fit the Tunze wide flow nozzle to the Jebo shroud, it is just a little precision cutting and some glue.
